I have a bunch of forms which have a split form layout, datasheet area to the bottom of the forms. I'm wanting to group all these split forms onto a "Navigation" form but when I click the tab for each form to be displayed in the subform area the datasheet split is now missing and all I get is a "Single" form view of what is a split form. How can I get these split forms to view properly in the subform area of the navigation form, I guess there's a property setting but I can't see it?
I am trying to create a navigation form on a split database with front end and back end.But Access is not letting me drag forms or reports into the navigation form. Why?
I am not able to disable NavigationButton when i login navigation form using login form. I am using MS access 2007 - 2010.i am using below code but getting error.
I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?
I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.
So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.
I have used one of the members' code which was posted in a tread before to create a search box in a form. This code works perfectly when the form itself is open. Otherwise, when I put this searching form along with other forms in one navigation form, I get the following error: "Enter Parameter Value: Forms!FRM_SearchMulti!SrchText"...The code that was used for the Search box is as following:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change() 'Create a string (text) variable Dim vSearchString As String 'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor vSearchString = SearchFor.Text
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
Basically I need to design form that looks very similar to either Split Form or Subform. I have attached a print screen of what I roughly need. The form is split into two parts. In the first/top part there are some List Box/Date fields that act as filters to the bottom form, so the bottom form displays only records that match values in red. The second part of the top form has some field that require input from user and then these records are added to the bottom form. I was trying to use both Split Form and Subform and none of it is working,I have attached an example of database and this form would be based on data from Query1.
I have a Navigation form that has multiple forms that I linked to buttons at the top. They open the forms (now subforms) for the most part just fine. The issues come into play when I click on a combobox that pulls from a query of a table. Once this data is selected I have another combo box that is supposed to be filtered based off of the original combo box selection. Everything works on the original forms but once they are in subform form I get the error "Forms!MGM Search Form!STATE" which is the name of one of the forms and its asking for me to enter a parameter value for the query. Its almost like its not requerrying the data like it does in the original form
Private Sub State_AfterUpdate() me.Facility.Requery End Sub
basically the first combo box is a list of states and then the second combo box is a list of facilities in that state. Once you click on the state in the first combo box it filters the facilities in that state. But again once in the subform view it will not requery.
I'm attempting to create my first split database and I'm failing. Here is what I did in the exact steps.
1 - Created a database with one table and 11 forms (database is on my desktop).
2 - I created a split database and saved the back end on our company network.
3 - The front end is on my desktop(works fine)
4 - I put a copy of the front end on the company network (near the same location as the back end)
When I tried to open the front end from another persons computer who has access to the location i saved the back end and front end db's . It open fine, but my navigation form will not open the other forms. I get a blank sheet.
New to the navigation form: I need several forms in the navigation form to all relate to the same client ID field. I have this information on the main form but the form with in the navigation form will not pick it up.
I have tried =[Forms]![Frm Client Information Navigation Panel]![ClientID] But just cant get it to pick up that information...
I would like to have something like the master link fields and, child link fields but when I add a form to the navigation form this option in not available.
I have a form with a bottom that has a macro that uses applyfilter to filter the current form based on what is within a textbox located on the form.
I used the macobuilder and have my where condition as
[num] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*" Or [name] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*"
This works when I open the form by itself but when I try adding the form to a navigation form I get prompted to put in "num" and "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] " etc. when I click the bottom.
I have decided to move away from Switchboard in Access 2010, to what I find to be more user-friendly; the Navigation Forms.
However, when I attempt to export any of the data from my navigation forms, the result is a blank Excel sheet. I can easily go into the forms themselves on the left navigation panel and export from there, but when myself or a user attempts to do this from the navigation forms themselves; well, the blank Excel sheet is the result.
How do you create a work-around, so that it is possible to export to Excel from these navigation forms?
Can I use combo boxes placed in the detail area of a navigation form, above the sub menus but below the navigation? I am not able to get one to work properly . I can set it up but when I run the form, and try to pick an item from a list, it will not work...
I have three forms - Form1,Form2 and Form3 linked to a navigation form with Navigation buttons. I have separate VBA codes under each Before update event of these forms, Form1,Form2 and Form3 to call a VBA module to track the changes performed by the users(Like an Audit Trail) in specified fields of the forms which will track them to a table.there are control tags in the form properties --> others --> Tag to track the changes in the fields which are defined in the VBA Module.this is the code to call the VBA Module:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me.NewRecord Then Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "NEW") Else Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "EDIT") End If End Sub
[code]....
The code is working perfect when the forms are run separately.but when they are run from the navigation form by clicking the navigation buttons, the code is not working !!
I have a form with a lot of data structured in tabs. Since the tab loads all the data at once while the navigation form browses to the desired form. I have tried but the issue is the Master-Child link. The form in the navigation form is not considered as a subform, hence, no way to set a Master-Child link. The navigation form itself is the subform but even when setting up a link there it has no influence on the form displayed by the navigation form.
On tab 1 of my navigation field i have a combo box which i use to select the record i want to look at.
but then if i click on another tab in my navigation form to have a look at another set of forms (not related) and i click back on the first tab with my combo box the combo box has reset it'self to be blank - not selected.
Is there a way that i can get the combo box to remember the last record that was selected and automatically go to it when i go back to the first tab?
I have my setup all complete and everything works great. Now, I have a subNavigation form within the Navigation form. Thing is, I am not sure how to go about the code for the query to pick up the Beginning and End Date to generate my report. Here is my Form setup:
frmNavigationForm (Main form) - Tabs on top. NavigationSubform (first Navigation Form, where I have a tab called Admin) frmAdminNav (where I have embedded under the Admin tab) - Tabs on left side. NavigationSubform (Second Navigation form where I have a tab called "Search") I don't recall what the name. How do I find it, stupid question, I know... frmSearch (where I am trying to pull a detailed report from date search criteria)
Here is one of the codes I have been trying to use in my Query and nothing seems to work.
Code: Between [Forms]![frmNavigationForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![frmAdminNav].[Form]![frmSearch]![BeginDate] And [Forms]![frmNavigationForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![frmAdminNav].[Form]![frmSearch]![EndDate]
I want to be able to use the Count function that will reside in the header of the main navigation form that will count the records in each navigation sub form (of which there are 6 sub forms)
Each sub form has the same primary key which is what I am doing the count on.
I have done this on another form with no subforms by creating a Textbox with this code: =Count([PCNumber])
I have tried to put this in the header of the main navigation form with various itterations, the last being: =Count([Form]![NavigationSubform].[PCNumber])
But what ever I do seems to come up with "Error" in the textbox.
For info, the form names are:
Main form :StockViewsForm Subform:NavigationSubform
PCNumber being the PK I want to count.
Is this possible of do I need to specify the names of the actual forms that reside in the Navigation Sub Form ??
